I was at Grandview park again last night- went there for the GA, and to participate on the discussion for next steps. While there, I met Penny Ballem, our city manager, and (I think) Aaron Jasper, the chair of the Parks Board.
I brought them over to the fountain, and explained the history, then showed them that it doesn’t work. I also mentioned that the dog fountain works downtown.
They gave me a semi-warm response, and said they would check if it is possible to make the fountain work. I suggested that they change the tap and leave it slowly running during the winter. Let’s hope they get sensible about this- it is not so long ago that Mayor Plasticman said the fountain would assure never again…
